In safe hands: A License to own Raptors
To the House of Commons,
The petition created by Sarah Roberts declares that laws governing the protection of Raptors in the UK are not currently suitable to ensure the safety of such birds in private ownership. This may refer to those indulging in 'Falconry' or 'Hawk-keeping'.
The petitioner therefore requests that a license be created which requires such a person to undergo mandatory training before obtaining a bird in accordance with standards set down or advised by experts in this field e.g. The Hawk Board. This license would demonstrate that this person is aware of the responsibility they are taking on and are capable of looking after a Raptor. This would result in fewer birds being unintentionally harmed by misguided members of the public and also improve the safety of the handler.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
Removed at request of petitioner.
